Citizens for the Future of Eagle (C.F.E.) is a group of concerned citizens committed to preserving the unique small town character of Eagle through smart growth principles and policies.
 
Currently Eagle's quality of life is in jeopardy. An out-of-town development group, Trinity /Red Development, has proposed a massive project on 90+ acres of pasture land - the half a million square foot+ Eagle River Station. ERS would be anchored by large format retailers-ie...big box and numerous junior anchor stores, have a "lifestyle" center with 4 story buildings, a main street just like our existing downtown, a 150 room hotel, 581 homes and office spaces. Literally, there will be acres and acres of parking lots.

If this development is approved, it will dramatically increase our traffic, pollution, crime, and population. Eagle River Station is five times the size of our current downtown business area ot the size of 4-5 Costcos lined up. Eagle will no longer be the small town we all moved here for.

C.F.E. supporters know that Eagle can do better. We do not want this massive development as the gateway to our community.

The future of Eagle will be better if we focus on supporting and investing in our five existing business districts, including our downtown business district, the most unique downtown in the entire Eagle Valley. And, we should explore all intergovernmental opportunities with our neighboring town of Gypsum to share infrastructure costs and to revenue share on larger scale retail  centers. Together we can find creative and innovative ways to help Eagle thrive economically without compromising our community character.
